Special passage tags

A variation of (click:) that, instead of showing the hook when the target is clicked, shows it
when the mouse pointer moves over it, and then leaves. The target is also styled differently, to denote this
hovering functionality.

Rationale:

(click:) and (link:) can be used to create links in your passage that reveal text or, in conjunction with
other macros, transform the text in myriad ways. This macro is exactly like (click:), but rather than
making the target a link, it makes the target reveal the hook when the mouse stops hovering over it.
This is very similar to clicking, but is subtly different, and conveys a sense of “pointing” at the element to
interact with it rather than “touching” it. You can use this in your stories to give a dream-like or unearthly
air to scenes or places, if you wish.

Details:

This macro is subject to the same rules regarding the styling of its targets that (click:) has, so
consult (click:)'s details to review them.

This macro is not recommended for use in games or stories intended for use on touch devices, as
the concept of “hovering” over an element doesn't really make sense with that input method.
